Paragraph 3: God: Big Brother has taken the place of God: Omnipotent and Omniscient, and under the control of the party

Among the many themes express in the novel 1984 by George Orwell the most interesting and frightening is the concept of creating an alternative reality to control a mass population. The Inner Party stays in power by shaping the thoughts and opinions of the masses and it does this by creating a reality where everything suits whatever it is the party needs to be believed. This is accomplished in three ways. The first is revisionism or the act of changing facts such as history so that the Party is always made to look good and mobilize popular opinion against its enemies. The second way the party creates an artificial reality is through artificial scarcity. There is no need for the constant warfare but if the need no longer existed for the construction of the tools of war that productivity would instead be put towards the manufacture of goods which could actually raise the standard of living. Finally the Inner Party controls the masses...

Controls for Differentiated Strategies
Focus of chapter is Contingency Theory: A specific structure and process for an organization depends upon various external and internal factors.
Research studies have identified important factors that influence control system design:
Size
Business Environment
Technology
Interdependence
Strategies
Corporate Strategy
Logic for linking controls to strategy depends on:
Different organizations operate in different strategic contexts.
Different strategies require different:
Task priorities
Key success factors
Skills
Perspectives
Behavior patterns
Control systems are measurement systems that influence people being measured
The design of the control system should be monitored for behavior induced by system is consistent with corporate strategy.
Implications for Organization Structure
Corporate strategy is a continuum line from a single industry strategy to an unrelated diversification strategy on the other pole.
Various corporate strategies imply different organization structures and different control systems. Review (Exhibit 13.1)
At the single industry pole companies tend to be...

...The main goal of Totalitarian government is to limit and regulate every aspect of public and private life. George Orwell’s novel, 1984, illustrates a society lacking in freedom and expression. His fictional society in 1984 stands as a metaphor for a Totalitarian society. Communication, personal beliefs, and national loyalty are controlled by the inner party which governs the people of Oceania in order to keep society from rebelling.
Oceania, where main character Winston Smith lives, is ruled by the INGSOC. The Inner Party, controlled by Big Brother, dictates several aspects of the people’s life. The Inner Party’s aim was to make any other alternative thinking a “thought crime” or “crime think” . The Inner Party only allows words that empower or respect the Inner Party and Big Brother. An example of the control the Inner Party has over the people is found in Syme’s dialogue on page 46, “It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words…You haven’t a real appreciation for , Winston…Don’t you see the whole aim of is to narrow the range of thought?” As a society, Oceania has been brainwashed to use only words or phrases that empower and respect INGSOC . Syme, who rewrites the dictionary using and erases oldspeak, understands the purpose and follows the rules because he has been trained. The overall concept of is designed to control personal beliefs of the citizens by limiting their form of expression. Controlling...

...Warning, Love George Orwell.
George Orwell once said that “writing a novel is agony”; however as excruciating as it may have been for him to write it (probably since he was so ill at the time), 1984 stands to be one of the greatest examples of dystopian literature read today. It is a strong novel that draws on concepts like totalitarianism, class and caste systems, rebellion and many other concepts that seem far off from the society that exists today. On the contrary, Orwell himself states that this story can be perceived as a “warning” on how society will evolve from a simple one to a more complex one. From beginning to end, subtle signs are embedded to forebode the arrival of destructive ideas. One idea in specific is the introduction of new forms of control to watch over the masses. There is a variety of mediums used throughout the story, ranging from technological control to linguistic moderation to war and propaganda. The three that are most apparent in 1984 and the most relatable to the current era are the notions of surveillance, linguistic control and propaganda. What seems like a fictional plotline is actually valid in modern society is so accurately predicted that it is almost frightening.
One of the first few, and often repeated, forms of control in the novel is surveillance. Surveillance is really just close observation, with a focus on suspected criminals or...

...intimidation are not just feelings. If they are used in the right way they can be used for control and power. A dictator in a totalitarian regime will use these emotions to control his people. The world that Winston Smith lives in has no personal rights, poor living conditions, and everything is controlled by hatred, even the people's history and language. The language Newspeak is being implemented by the government to limit the possibility of political rebellion by eliminating all words relating to it. The history is changed in a effort to confuse the population into believing the governments version . In 1984, fear, confusion and intimidation are used to control the society and to ensure that the totalitarian regime can maintain its power.
In the novel, the world is broken into three different super-countries: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. Eurasia was formed when Russia took control of Europe. Oceania was created when the U.S absorbed the British empire and Eastasia is a amalgamation of the remaining nations. These countries are in a constant state of war with one another fighting a perpetual border war. One country is always allied to another, while at war with the third, then switched allies. There is never a winner. It is a fact of life that enables the powers to keep the people ignorant of life in other places. This keeps the world stable and allows the governments to control...

...In the novel 1984, George Orwell creates a dystopian society where people are stripped of their humanity and individuality does not exist. Oceania is one of three superstates in 1984 where the Party maintains absolute power over its people. The party uses a variety of tools to maintain their power through surveillance through the telescreens, child spies, and the thought police. They also used brainwashing with propaganda, and psychological manipulation and physical control.
One of the methods the party uses to maintain their power is through surveillance techniques as telescreens, junior spies, and thought police. The telescreens are tools that the party uses to instill fear within the population of Oceania. “There was no place you could be more certain that the telescreens were watched continuously” (Orwell, 107) this quote tells is that telescreens are everywhere in Oceania, and there is no place to hide. All members of the Inner Party and Outer Party have telescreens in their house, and are constantly monitored. Because of the constant surveillance, the telescreens eliminate the threat of a conspiracy against the party. As a reader, one can see that the telescreens are effective in instilling fear into people when Winston starts writing in his diary. Without realizing, Winston wrote “DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER” (18) in large capital letters. As soon as Winston realized what he had written, he started to panic and was scared that...

...mention most often- the reason for designing society this way. The desire for stability, for instance, requires the production of large numbers of genetically identical "individuals," because people who are exactly the same are less likely to come into conflict. Stability means minimizing conflict, risk, and change.
2. SCIENCE AS A MEANS OF CONTROL
Brave New World is not only a Utopian book, it is also a science-fiction novel. But it does not predict much about science in general. Its theme "is the advancement of science as it affects human individuals," Huxley said in the Foreword he wrote in 1946, 15 years after he wrote the book. He did not focus on physical sciences like nuclear physics, though even in 1931 he knew that the production of nuclear energy (and weapons) was probable. He was more worried about dangers that appeared more obvious at that time- the possible misuse of biology, physiology, and psychology to achieve community, identity, and stability. Ironically, it becomes clear at the end of the book that the World State's complete control over human activity destroys even the scientific progress that gained it such control.
3. THE THREAT OF GENETIC ENGINEERING
Genetic engineering is a term that has come into use in recent years as scientists have learned to manipulate RNA and DNA, the proteins in every cell that determine the basic inherited characteristics of life. Huxley didn't use the phrase but he describes...
